Late '31 Side Bowl Gaskets

[darrylkmc]

I am wondering what others are using for the Late '31 Side Bowl Gaskets.

Observation 1
A-22333 Washer and A-22384 Washer, "Changes incorporated into fuel system in May 1931...". As shown in a sketch on page 50, How to Restore your Model Volumn 1, l presume from the Service Bulletins.

Observation #2
Parts Price Price list 1928-1932 show 351524-S and 361456-S described as Plain Fibre Washer.

What was the color and composition of the originals?

and

What are others are using today.

Just rebuilt one. The Sidebowl Sediment Housing used Lead washer-one for bolt and one for housing others gaskets were the same as used on the Earlier Zeniths. Had to make my own. But i'm sure there out there.That's what I Know! trying to find info I have it somewhere!

Where did you find out that they used Lead washers originally on the side bowl.

Thanks

Found this in the 1932 parts book, I think these are the right gaskets.
351524-S 23/32" (1/16"x1") plain fiber washer
351456-S 1/2" (3/64"x3/4") plain fiber washer

Thanks everyone so much for the replies.

In the back of the 1928-1932 Parts Price List there is a list of the small parts, and the description is as Bob says in his post. I am still wondering the color and composition of the parts listed as 351524-S and 361456-S described as Plain Fibre Washer.

A-22333 Washers and A-22384 Washer, as shown on page 560 May 1931 of the Service Bulletins should also be shown in the small parts in the back of the 1931 Parts Price list, and have a description. Unfortunately l do not have a copy of the 1931 Parts List.

Also, Gary, which book do you have that shows the Gaskets that you posted?

Here's another place.Never bought from them,but they look like a good place for some small Model A parts. They have fibre washers for oil and fuel-Red in color.

I would just smear a thin coat of sealer on the hard gaskets.
